IPREP is a committee of TCU faculty committed to interprofessional education, research
and practice.
The purpose of interprofessional education is to prepare health professions students
for interprofessional practice by teaching collaborative practice competencies within
the context of interprofessional teams. Research shows that effective health care
teams are a factor in improved patient safety, quality, and patient-centered care.
Effective teamwork can help accomplish the Institute of Healthcare Improvement’s (IHI) Triple Aim – improving patient experience of care, improving the health of populations, and
reducing the per capita cost of health care.
